After his self-produced project ‘Reworks’, which gained wide support from online publications, radio stations and playlists, Theo presented his latest project ‘Plato Freestyle’. A musical philosopher in training, the single demonstrates Theo’s ability to create vivid imagery through his poetic and thoughtful lyrics. Straightforward vocals and pounding beats contrast beautifully with sky-blue choral synths, further enhancing the song’s impact.
Discussing the meaning behind the new track, Theo shared, “It’s a statement of intent, purpose and self-reliance.” Reflecting on tragic world events such as the murder of George Floyd, Theo was inspired to write a vulnerable expression of will and purpose.
The release of “Plato Freestyle” was accompanied by the official music video. This song is the first sample from Theo’s self-produced debut EP ‘IN TRANSIT’, which will be released in the not too distant future.
